épave du snark

The Snark wreck in Prony Bay feels like a proper treasure hunt, even if it’s only at 11 metres. It’s not some perfectly intact ship; instead, you get a sprawling debris field, big metal plates and ribs scattered across the sandy bottom. We love how the Snark has become a home, every nook and cranny occupied. Look closely and you’ll find freckled anglerfish pretending to be part of the rusty structure, or little post horn squid jetting between the fragments. It’s an ideal spot for newer divers, or anyone who just wants a really relaxed dive without worrying about depth or complex navigation. While the visibility can be a bit hit-or-miss sometimes, when it’s good, the schools of fusiliers and trumpetfish really put on a show. We’ve even spotted leopard sharks cruising by on occasion. Our favourite part? Peeking under the bigger pieces of hull, where you often find honeycomb groupers lurking, perfectly camouflaged. It’s less about one grand structure and more about the micro-habitats within the wreckage.
